Former Benesse House Museum Staff
Born in Setouchi. Shaped by Naoshima. Sharing the stories behind its art.
Born and raised in Kagawa, I have a deep personal connection to the Setouchi region and its culture. Having worked at Benesse House Museum, I offer a perspective shaped by both my local roots and firsthand experience in Naoshima’s art scene.
Go beyond the famous museums and discover the lesser-known artworks, hidden stories, and local connections that reveal a different side of Naoshima.
My tours are not just about seeing art, but understanding why it is here and what it means to this island.
